What exactly is the big deal with that EO sticker reporting?? Do you get a prize or what? I mean - a STICKER! - the word is full of stickers stuck on everything imaginable. I just can't imagine why making a fuss about it.

It was a big enough deal for you to make a fuss about it.

V8 Troopie,
It's your perogitive if you wish to get bent out shape about a sticker. I do get annoyed by some stickers - sometimes. "Baby on Board" stickers/signs are one of my minor annoyances. Lets face it, the window soxs, dangling toys and other accessories already give the game away (we have 19 month old by the way, and not a sign to be seen). I have had a ExplorOz sticker displayed on my camper trailer since early 2001. Though I took my time, I am now a member of EO.
Are YOU a member of ExplorOz??????????????
Now, in my profession (as a few of the astute have/will already picked up on, as I get time to post), I deal with people who share a common goal - that is the ADF. Not unlike many of the members in this
forum. The common denominator of most on this site is we all share the passion of the great outdoors - in whatever form it takes.
If you cant beat 'em - join 'em. Get yourself a sticker.
Matt

"Are YOU a member of ExplorOz??????????????"
...SHHHH, no he's not.
I guess he just doesn't get it.
Its great to have a bunch of like-minded people to chat to and hopefully bump into out there.
That's why we say "Hey, I saw your TRUCK today at xxx, pity I didn't get to meet ya this time" or maybe "I'm here for a few days wanna meet up?"

The "Baby on Board" signs are not for your benefit, they were designed in case of an accident to let emergency personel and other informed people who come across an accident that there may be a baby in the vehicle, seems obvious doesn't it. As for the original question, the EO sticker spotting game, I have met some very nice people on our travels, a good ice breaker.

Steve T,
Not trying to start any arguments mate. it's just an analogy. That said, one my troops happens to be a Ambo/paramedic based just north of
Adelaide, and unfortunately gets far too many call outs.
To loosely quote him on his opinion of these signs: "We dont even bother with those signs, no sign doesnt necessarily mean 'no baby', just as a sign doesnt necessarirly mean 'a baby on board'. Cant take the risk - we
check everything and everyone ASAP".
I'll take his word on it.
Cheers, Matt

Mal & Di,
We are in SA, and it's not a big place - it's only a matter of time before our paths cross! That said, I better try and find some of those spare EO stickers that Dave & Michelle gave me back in 2001 and mount them appropriately.(If you have a very close look at the tailgate of our camper in one of my photos you'll see a EO sticker smack bang in the centre!).
Dont worry if you dont get a return wave sometimes, the way people drive here, you need to keep your eyes on the traffic!
Cheers, Matt

Thanks for that Matt H.
It appears to me that there are a lot of SA members and it would be good to all meet sometime so we can wave at each other.
Warraweena and Innaminka are great but not all can make it that far.
Cheers Mal.

Mal and Di, We have had a few "teddy bears picnics" over the years, the park adjacent the Old Spot Hotel has been one of the locations previously for a Sunday bbq lunch and get together.

Call me Mr have-a-chat but I've met some good people from having EO stickers on my car or I have spotted EO sticker in the car park and gone over and had a chat.....
But then again.....
Call me a snob but I've seen one or two EO stickers on vehicles and seen the driver and wouldn't give them the time of day. I'm sure everyone is put off by some things when they don't like the look of someone.
I'm sure some wouldn't stop to talk to me, that's cool, I don't mind.

Also don't forget that the person driving the car [TRUCK] may have bought that truck with the sticker already on the truck, and therefore have no idea what you are on about, have found ourselves in that situation.
